The Kids Are Alright!

Anyone who knows me knows that I think most mass protests are worthless. But this? This is brilliant.

Embattled former U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales was a few minutes into his speech Monday night when the first two protesters took the stage, their heads covered and hands tied behind their backs like Abu Ghraib prisoners.

One of the young men stood silently beside Gonzales, who looked down at his notes and waited for two police officers to lead him away. Then came a young man in a military fatigue jacket, who stood directly in front of Gonzales with a sign declaring: “Habeus corpus.”

ThinkProgress has the video.

It wasn't just the two or three students getting on stage. Watch the videos and you'll see that Gonzales gets heckled throughout his speech.

Hey kids! More like this please!
